Chapter 1629 - 989: Emperor Huanfen’s Request_2
"Since we’re old friends, why be so formal?" Jiang Hui said.
"Old friends?" Emperor Huanfen was slightly taken aback, then her beautiful face blossomed with a more radiant smile, like the rising sun, "If we consider the mortal world years, Brother Jiang of the Dao and I have known each other for so long, we’re more than just old friends; it’s deep enough to call it a bond that transcends eighteen lifetimes."
After the joke, Jiang Hui waited quietly for Emperor Huanfen to get to the point.
Emperor Huanfen slowly began, "I’ve come this time hoping to visit that Netherworld Underworld space you’ve opened."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui couldn’t help but show surprise. He recalled that while in the Underworld, Emperor Huanfen had sought opportunities to step out for fresh air; how surprising that shortly after leaving, she intended to return.
Emperor Huanfen explained, "I recently returned to Heaven and discovered a river eroding from future years, its source seemingly an Ancient Underworld. Both are crucial to the Bizarre Clan. Thinking of the Underworld space you’ve opened, also an Underworld, I thought perhaps you might know something about that Ancient Underworld."
"I do know a bit," Jiang Hui admitted, "but it doesn’t seem to have much to do with your desire to enter the Underworld."
"Indeed, not much," Emperor Huanfen nodded, "but I always remember your shelter and life-saving grace. Not long ago, I sent a clone into that Ancient Underworld and found that we might be able to claim it and merge it into your Underworld, potentially making the Underworld space you’ve opened even more perfect!"
Jiang Hui, hearing this, wondered if he had misheard. After confirming multiple times, he fell into deep thought. Emperor Huanfen’s strength had reached the Sacrificial Path Realm and she could move freely in the Underworld. Since she spoke thus, she must have found the feasibility of their integration.
Emperor Huanfen continued, "I wish to enter the Underworld to verify the feasibility of this discovery. If it truly is feasible, when the time comes to counterattack, directly taking the Ancient Underworld could first thwart a plot of the Bizarre Clan."
